GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 60362
gnome-vfs identifies mbox files as plain text

This leads to Nautilus doing the text preview thing on them, and opening them in the text viewer, which seems a bit silly. I noticed this while browsing around in my nsmail folder in Nautilus.
I guess we could check for "From " at the start of the file... Its not a particularly safe magic check, but what the hell :)
